A Season-Best Effort from Vincent Hoover Leads Juniata Valley over Curwensville
Juniata Valley was led to victory by Vincent Hoover, who turned in his biggest game of the season on Friday. Hoover rushed for 295 yards and four touchdowns, good enough to set a new career-high in rushing yards in the process. He didn't just play on offense: he also forced a fumble and made eight total tackles.
For the year, Hoover has run in 6 touchdowns while averaging 63 rushing yards per game. He's made a big improvement compared to last season: at this point last year, he was only averaging 0.14 rushing yards per game.

Moshannon Valley Gets a Boost from Reifer in 29-18 Defeat

He rushed for 159 yards and a touchdown while picking up 7.6 yards per carry. He didn't just play on offense: he also forced a fumble and made 15 total tackles.
Reifer is probably looking forward to his next game, a home matchup against West Branch on Friday. Back in October of 2023 (the last time Reifer saw the Warriors), he rushed for 96 yards and a touchdown on only seven carries.
